Modifications : - We were initially thinking of building the body tube with PVC pipe but we realized it would be too heavy. - We made a wooden nose cone but it ended up being too heavy so we used the end of a Crayola bank. - We thought we could fit the engine in the wood bottom plug but we had to cut the bottom plug into two little disk to make it more lightweight. - We were initially going to have three fins on our rocket but we decide to put four on instead All these adjustments worked in our favor because they made the rocket lighter and gave it a better chance to launch properly.
